I dunno why, but I'm writing the chappies pretty quickly... well, I know you won't complain. In this chappie, we meet Shaoran's girlfriend. (Yea... to make everything harder, I'm adding a girlfriend...) You might think she's a bit overprotective about Shaoran... and she is. (Think Meilin, only without the glomping; that's WAY too scary!)
I'm messing with Sakura's head in this chappie. As you will see in the end of the chappie, she's a bit jealous because Shaoran's spending a lot of time with his girlfriend, and she's sad... but it's hurting her more than usual, which means the story's shaping up!
Yeah, well... enjoy the chappie... and remember, now they are both sixteen, and I'm making his birthday on the twenty-fifth of February to make him older. (I'm making his birthday be on mine, because it's the only way I'll remember... hehehehe!)
Disclaimer: Repeat after me... I don't own, you don't own, he/she/it doesn't own, we don't own, you don't own, they don't own... got it, sweetie? Good...
Sakura Kinomoto now was sixteen years old. Her long curly hair reached her mid-back, and now she was much stronger and independent. Smiling, she got out of bed and took a shower, letting the warm water fall onto her beautiful body. Then she put on a white grafitti-style shirt with her name on it in pink, slipped on black cargo pants, and put on her white socks with her black sneakers.
Today she was going to stay at Shaoran's house for the weekend, so she put extra clothes and different make up on a black bag. She applied her strawberry flavored gloss and went downstairs, skipping happily.
"Hi Grandma Kassi!" she greeted with a grin at the old woman.
Kassi smiled as well and kissed her cheek. "Hi cherry blossom!" she replied.
"Hey Grandpa Masaki!" she called her grandfather, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Masaki smiled and nodded "Meeting your brother today?"
Sakura nodded hyperly. "Yep!" she said "I'm staying over his house for the weekend."
Sakura picked up a piece of toast and stuffed it in her mouth after saying goodbye. She took the bus and dropped off at the Penguin Park. She smiled when she saw Shaoran's house in sight. She ran to it and rang the doorbell. The door opened and Shaoran came out. He still had a sweet smile on his face, but now he looked older, and looked more amazing.
"Hey Saku!" he said.
"Hey Shaoran!" she yelled, giving him a tight hug.
He really missed having her in the house. He missed seeing her smiling face everyday and missed when they used to watch fighting movies every night. He gently touched her dark copper hair and they both went inside. He was wearing a black t-shirt with an unbuttoned white shirt on top and blue jeans.
Yelan looked at the emerald beauty and smiled. "Hey Sakura."
"Mother!" Sakura cried happily, hugging her as well.
"We missed you." she whispered "It's not the same without you."
Yelan twirled her around and said "You look so beautiful and healthy. I bet you already have a boyfriend."
"Nope!" Sakura said childishly "But I appreciate that you think I'm beautiful."
Beautiful indeed. Her skin was flawless, her hair flew gracefully behind her as she walked, and she looked better than ever with her now more womanly figure. She smiled and took Shaoran's hand, practically dragging him outside.
"Come on! You told me that I could meet your girlfriend!" she told him.
"All right, don't make such a big deal about it!" he mumbled "And stop dragging me!"
"Oh, sorry!" she said apologetically "Forgive me?"
"Yeah." Shaoran replied with a smile.
Shaoran now had a girlfriend. Sakura remembered when he told her that he would never have a girlfriend. She had asked him if something was wrong with girls and he realized that he couldn't say something like that to a girl... strangely enough, he couldn't ask Eriol either, because he'd say the same thing... Sakura was glad he changed his mind. Whoever his girlfriend was, she was an extremely lucky girl.
They went to a house and stopped on the door. Shaoran rang the doorbell and out came a girl. She was beautiful, with long brown hair and stunning crimson eyes. She was wearing a red top, a jean miniskirt of a modest length, and brown sandals.
"Hey Shao!" the girl said, giving him a kiss.
"Hey Michie." he said, smiling tenderly to her.
"Who's she?" Michie asked politely "Is she your sister?"
"Yeah... Sakura, meet Michie Myamoto. Michie, meet Sakura Kinomoto."
Sakura gretted Michie with a smile, while Michie did the same. Sakura didn't know why, but she felt that Michie didn't like her. Through Michie's smile she saw a competitive smik.
'As if!' she thought 'Shaoran's my bro, for pete's sake!'
"I'll come back tonight, okay?" Shaoran said to Michie "I gotta spend a little time with my sis."
"Okay." Michie said, a little disappointed "I'll see ya tonight."
With a wave Sakura and Shaoran left Michie's house. Sakura looked back at her and saw her glaring at her. Sakura shook it off and went back to talking to Shaoran.
---Later---
"Hey, uh, Saku? Do you mind if we don't watch movies for once? I promised Michie I'd go over her house..." Shaoran started.
"Yep, go ahead." Sakura said softly, flipping through the channels.
"Thanks." he smiled. He gave her a kiss in the cheek and said "See ya later."
Sakura nodded while he left. She felt a bit disappointed. She wanted to spend time with him, but now that he had a girlfriend he has no time for her. Sakura sighed; she felt happier when they were younger. She was happy for him, she really was, but she didn't realize that now he'd have no time fo her.
'It was much better back home...' she thought sadly.
Why did his girlfriend hate her so much anyway? She didn't do anything to her. Maybe it was because her and Shaoran are close? Did he tell Michie that they weren't really related? She hoped not. Why Michie would think that she'd get in the way of her and Shaoran's relationship was beyond her.
"Why are you sitting here? Where's your brother?" Yelan asked her.
"Mother!" she yelled, surprised. She calmed down and said "He's over his girlfriend's house... doing I don't know what..."
"And you're sad?"
"A little..." Sakura sighed "I didn't realize that him having a girlfriend would mean he'd have less time with me..."
"Well, maybe it's a good thing. You depend on him too much. Maybe it's a chance to start relying on yourself rather than your brother to live." Yelan explained.
"Yeah, maybe..." Sakura said. She looked at the clock and said "I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay sweetie." Yelan said before leaving her.
Sakura went to take a shower on the familiar bathroom. As she took a shower, she randomly started to sing the words that popped up into her head.
It's hard to let you go...
It's harder than you know.
Everyday I look at myself and I know
that it's hard to let you go...
'Whoa... where did that come from?' she thought confusedly.
She never sung so beautifully and with such emotion. She wondered why she thought those words. What was going on with her? She never felt this bad when Shaoran could not be with her... and now here she was, singing sad words.
'Ah, it's just my imagination...' she thought 'I'm just being a crybaby.'
She dressed in a white camisole and white pajama pants along with it. She lied on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She felt the familiar warmth of her bed cover her, and she thought about a few of the last words she thought.
Just my imagination.
Oi... I'm being bad, aren't I? Don't worry, it seems like such a sad fic... but it will be happy! Now I want your opinion... should I have Tomoyo and Eriol help with the matchmaking? It might make the fic lighter and happier... I dunno, your choice.
